UMBRELLA-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 278,124, dated May 22, 1883.

Application filed December 1, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, THOMAS A. GAUSE, of Moss Point, in the county of Jackson and State of Mississippi, have invented a new and 1mprove'd Umbrella-Holder, of which the follow} ing is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of-my invention is to provide a new and improved device for holding an umbrella in a vehicle.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar lettersof reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a longitudinal front elevation of my improved umbrella-holder. Fig. 2 is aside elevation of the same, showing it holding an umbrella inclined. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal elevation of the inner side of one of the blocks placed in the clamp and for holding the umbrella-handle.

A forked clamp, A, is secured to the seat, dash-board, or floor of a vehicle in some suitable manner, so as to be turned in anyway to give'the umbrella the properangleinthe right direction, either permanently or removably. Two blocks, B, are placed between the shanks of the spring-clamp, and are clamped between the sameby a screwbolt, 0, provided with a winged nut, D. The bolt 0 passes through apertures in the ends of the clamp and through curved slots or recesses E in the blocks B. The blocks are each provided in theinner surfaces with a longitudinal groove, F, and with a curved groove, G, or a straight groove extending from the longitudinal groove along the lower part of the block.

An u1nbrella-stick,H, is placed between the blocks B, which are pressed together and to the stick H, and are clamped between the ends of the forked clamp A by the screw-bolt O and the nut D. If the handle of the umbrellastick is straight, it is passed into the grooves F only; but if it is curved it is passed into the grooves F and G.

The umbrella can be held at any desired inclination, and can be placed into the holder and removed from the same very easily and THOMAS ALBERT cause. Witnesses:
